We've had a severe thunderstorm warning in effect for the last hour and now I can hear the hail starting to hit the deck. Wow is it loud. Tornadoes
are looming, I'm sure of it.
If I don't live through this, somebody say something nice at my funeral, I don't even care if you have to fake it.

Why wait to hear something nice until it's too late and you can't. So here you are:
Something nice. |

metal roof on the building?
no? try holding a cat at a vet's office when dime sized hail hits the roof - sounded like a gatling gun went off and the cat didn't appreciate it one bit |

Thanks for the well wishes weems.
I wonder if being sucked up into a tornado would be as cool as they portray it in the movies? I could be twirling around in circles falling in love with Bill Paxton as we speak. |

My buddy had his entire house destroyed by a tornado.
He, his wife, and kids literally huddled in a basment bathroom as they house got pulled off about him. There was like a tractor in a tree afterwards. |

No tornado warning sirens in Canookistan? Or tv coverage?
Back in April we had golf ball size hail that completely ass raped all our cars, the windows on the west side of the house, our roof, you name it. |

Oooh, your thread title brings to mind two questions that I haven't yet had answered.
1. Why is hail always "golf ball sized" and 2. Why are holes always "gaping"? |

Alls we got up here is the trees we chop down ourselves so no, no plywood.
Hubby loves them too, but he's currently upstairs sawing wood while I fear for my very life. If it gets too bad I will awaken him in a panic filled frenzy. He loves that shit. |

Hail isn't always golf ball sized. They categorize them here as dime, nickle, quarter, ping-pong, golf ball, baseball, and softball. Ours really was golf
ball sized. I've been thro tons of storms and I love them, but the cloudburst kind of hail dump we got in April actually scared the shit out of me.
I've never seen or heard anything like that. We watched the whole thing and it was unreal. A little town just 10 miles from me got softball sized hail and
one family actually had some of those hailstones come right through their roof. I believe it. It's hella scary when it's that big. You should've
seen the dents in our cars. We're lucky none of our windshields got smashed. Several cars in our neighborhood did.
